What an amazing place. We were so lucky and blessed to get to spend a month here. Watching the ever-changing lake from the "tower" room, cooking in the big kitchen, rock picking on our own private beach, dipping our feet in the cold water on the hot days, checking in on the growing minnows, relaxing on the big lawn, watching the ongoing battles between the bald eagles and the seagulls (as well as a few movies on the nice big tv), walking to the candy shop, knife river, and big beach...we even saw multiple rainbows -- could there be any better sign that this is a magical place?
The property is well-placed to get to Duluth, Two Harbors, and all of the north shore parks and trails. Wi-fi is excellent and we had no issues with it. The neighborhood is quiet and the property is private, there are partial views of neighboring homes, but only through trees at a distance. The yard is big enough for a good game of hide and seek or capture the flag.
The ground-floor bedroom is great for people who may have difficulty with stairs, and the master bedroom suite is delightful. The tower room up a set of spiral stairs is a great place to work (if you must) or pretend to be a lighthouse keeper, and a little nook next to it can be a fun nest/fort for kids.
Chad was super responsive and communicative, checking in before they'd come to work on the lawn, bringing things we needed, etc.
Notes for future guests: one in our party needed earplugs because the seagulls can get loud in the early morning hours; the lake is cold, but hopefully you know that if you're coming here!
